Other Information
Shri Kelbai Devi Is also Kul Devi of Tamhankars who are originally from Maye
village. I visited this temple with family in this month only on 2nd February
2009. I performed puja which included Abhishek, Devi Puja and Arati. I really
felt very nice by darshan which I can not express in words. I now want to
develop this temple and request others to visit the temple an take Devis darshan.
I will be happy if I can contribute in this regard.
